[Verse 1] I keep a thousand mornings folded in my coat A dozen lives I might begin, each waiting like a boat I draw the maps in careful ink, I name the distant shore But every page I save for later leaves me one day more [Pre-Chorus] The calendar keeps taking what the ledger says I own All those doors are open; still, I never leave the room [Chorus] I’m rich in unspent tomorrows Poor in the day I’m living now I own a thousand roads to follow But this one hour is running out Spend me here, spend me here Before the future disappears [Verse 2] I price the life I haven’t lived, keep adding to the sum The clock collects its quiet fee while I wait for things to come A ticket curls beside the sink, the train has left the town I had the means to go anywhere; I never set it down [Pre-Chorus] The calendar keeps taking what the ledger says I own All those doors are open; still, I never leave the room [Chorus] I’m rich in unspent tomorrows Poor in the day I’m living now I own a thousand roads to follow But this one hour is running out Spend me here, spend me here Before the future disappears [Bridge] No vault can hold an afternoon No sum can buy the vanished noon Choose one door and cross the floor The day is waiting—nothing more [Final Chorus] I’m rich in unspent tomorrows Poor in the day I’m living now I own a thousand roads to follow I take this hour; I make it count Spend me here, spend me here I’m done delaying what is near [Outro] Spend me here While I am here
